Hundreds of thousands protested in Paris on Saturday as tensions flared over social issues and government policies, per Al Jazeera.

Violent clashes erupted with police, as Molotov cocktails were hurled and US and Israeli flags burned, NYPost reports.

The protests follow a third weekend of youth-led demonstrations sweeping Europe, NPR notes, amid growing discontent among young people.

Police in Paris are bracing for potential Halloween-related violence, Reuters reports, as the unrest continues.
